< Genesis 14 >

1 It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
Mu biro bya Amulafeeri kabaka wa Sinaali, ne Aliyooki kabaka wa Erasali, ne Kedolawomeeri kabaka wa Eramu ne Tidali kabaka wa Goyiyimu,
2 that they made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
bakabaka bano ne balumba ne balwana ne Bbeera kabaka wa Sodomu, ne Bbiruusa kabaka wa Ggomola, ne Sinaabu kabaka wa Aduma, ne Semebeeri kabaka wa Zeboyiyimu ne kabaka wa Bera, ye Zowaali.
3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
Bano bonna abooluvannyuma ne beegatta wamu mu kiwonvu kya Sidimu (y’Ennyanja ey’Omunnyo).
4 Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
Baamala emyaka kkumi n’ebiri nga baweereza Kedolawomeeri kabaka we Eramu, naye mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’esatu ne bamujeemera.
5 In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ena Kedolawomeeri ne bakabaka abaali naye ne balumba Abaleefa mu Asuterosikalumayimu ne babawangula, n’Abazuuzi mu Kaamu, n’Abemi mu Savekiriyasayimu,
6 and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
n’Abakooli mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Seyiri n’okutuukira ddala Erupalaani okumpi n’eddungu.
7 They returned, and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.
Ate ne bakyuka ne bajja e Nuumisupaati, ye Kadesi ne bawangula ensi yonna ey’Abamaleki n’Abamoli abaabeeranga mu Kazazonutamali.
8 The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they took up battle positions in the Valley of Siddim
Awo kabaka wa Sodomu ne kabaka wa Ggomola, ne kabaka wa Aduma, ne kabaka wa Zeboyiyimu ne kabaka wa Bera, ye Zowaali ne beegatta mu lutalo mu kiwonvu ky’e Sidimu
9 against Kedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
okulwanyisa Kedolawomeeri kabaka wa Eramu, ne Tidali kabaka wa Goyiyimu ne Amulafeeri kabaka wa Sinaali awamu ne Aliyooki kabaka wa Erasali, bakabaka bana nga balwanyisa bakabaka bataano.
10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.
Ekiwonvu ky’e Sidimu kyali kijjudde ebinnya ebirimu kolaasi; bakabaka b’e Sodomu ne Ggomola bwe baddukanga ng’abamu babigwamu, n’abalala ne baddukira ku nsozi.
11 They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
Awo bakabaka abana ne batwala ebintu byonna ebyali mu Sodomu ne Ggomola, n’emmere yaabwe yonna gye baalina ne bagenda.
12 They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
Era ne batwala ne Lutti, mutabani wa muganda wa Ibulaamu eyali mu Sodomu, n’ebintu bye ne bagenda nabyo kubanga naye yali abeera mu Sodomu.
13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram.
Awo Omwamoli omu eyali abadduseeko n’ajja n’ategeeza Ibulaamu Omwebbulaniya, eyali abeera okumpi n’emivule gya Mamule, muganda wa Esukoli ne Aneri abaalina endagaano ne Ibulaamu.
14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he mobilized his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
Ibulaamu bwe yawulira nti muganda we atwalibbwa nga munyage, n’akulembera basajja be abatendeke, abazaalirwa mu nnyumba ye, ebikumi bisatu mu kkumi na munaana, ne bawondera abaatwala Lutti okutuuka e Ddaani.
15 He divided his forces against them at night, he and his servants, and attacked them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
Mu kiro n’ayawulamu eggye lye, n’abalumba, ye n’abaddu be ne bagoberera abantu bali okutuuka e Kkoba, ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono obwa Damasiko.
16 He brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his possessions, as well as the women and the other people.
Awo n’akomyawo ebintu byonna, era n’akomyawo ne muganda we Lutti n’ebintu bye n’abakazi n’abantu bonna.
17 The king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the defeat of Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).
Ibulaamu bwe yakomawo ng’amaze okuwangula Kedolawomeeri ne bakabaka abaali naye, kabaka wa Sodomu n’afuluma okumusisinkana mu kiwonvu ky’e Save (kye kiwonvu kya kabaka).
18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was priest of God Most High.
Ne Merukizeddeeki kabaka wa Ssaalemi eyali kabona wa Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo n’aleeta omugaati n’envinnyo.
19 He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:
N’asabira Ibulaamu omukisa ng’agamba nti, “Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo Omutonzi w’eggulu n’ensi awe Ibulaamu omukisa.
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
Era Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo agulumizibwe agabudde abalabe bo mu mikono gyo.” Awo Ibulaamu n’amuwa ekitundu eky’ekkumi ekya buli kimu.
21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
Ne kabaka wa Sodomu n’agamba Ibulaamu nti, “Mpa abantu, gwe otwale ebintu.”
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
Naye Ibulaamu n’addamu kabaka wa Sodomu nti, “Ndayira Mukama Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo, Omutonzi w’eggulu n’ensi,
23 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'
sijja kutwala wadde akawuzi oba akakoba akasiba engatto, oba ekintu kyonna ekikyo, oleme okugamba nti, ‘Ngaggawazza Ibulaamu.’
24 I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion."
Sijja kubaako kye ntwala; okuggyako ebyo abavubuka bye balidde, n’omugabo gw’abasajja abaagenda nange; leka Aneri ne Esukoli ne Mamule bo batwale omugabo gwabwe.”
